Integrating Vanilla Forum - mark465 - 2016-01-31
I would like to integrate my Vanilla Forum for my GetSimple site. Ideally I would like to have "Forum" displayed in my main menu which would redirect one to my Vanilla forum subdomain. I haven't been able to find a howto on how to accomplish this. Any help would be appreciated.

I have no experience in this forum, but as far as I can read from the docs, it is a PHP MySQL script. I would start from:
- installing vanilla forum in a subfolder of main directory of your GS
- creating a page 'forum' via your GS
- preparing a simple theme for this page:
Code:
<?php
include ('subfoldername/index.php');
?>I am curious if this worked.

I installed vanilla forum to the 'vanilla' subdirectory and created a template 'vanilla.php' with the code you suggested and placed it in my theme's folder. In the page options I set my Forum page to use the vanilla.php template. I'm currently getting a blank page when I click on 'Forum', so I feel I must be misunderstanding your directions. Thank you for the reply.

General info: https://blog.vanillaforums.com/help/how-to-embed-a-forum-on-your-website/
Using external link in I18N menu: http://mvlcek.bplaced.net/get-simple/multi-level-navigation (INTERNAL/EXTERNAL LINKS)
I don't know if that is needed, I think you would be able to just embed the forum in a page, but I've never tested this.

A blank page could also be some server error (which you don't see). Check your error log.

Thank you for the help. The i18N and i18N_custom_fields plugins did the trick as far as linking to an external link.
